Now something really really obvious has been staring me in the face for ages and I've been too dumb to see it
What weapons do druids use?
2-handed polearms, maces and axes more often than not
Why?
Because they list as very fast or fast when you look at them with a druid, a reflection of the base animation speed when using them with a druid in human form
So why on earth have me and an awful lot of other players been stuck using them since LOD came out when we play shifters?
Grab your Grandfathers, unsheath your Schaeffers and loose the Lightsabres
Unless I've got this completely wrong weapon shape doesn't affect attack speed for shifters
Swords, spears, daggers are all equally viable
Base speeds matter sure, but not the shortened animation time that causes the game and the Arreat Summit to list certain weapons as "Fast" or "Very Fast"
Have I got this right? Dragoon?
